How about a big to @Char for keeping up with us in the http://garden.org/forums/view/...

It must one of the busiest forums here on ATP!!! Thank you, Char!

Let's Celebrate!!!
If I want to find a picture of a plant or get some advice about plants...this is one of the first places I come. Great job Dave, Trish, and all the other helping hands it takes to make this site happen.

Happy 4th Birthday All Things Plants!

I love this ATP "Garden"! It's always fun to chat with the friends I've made here, to see what gardening chores you are currently involved in, the different gardening methods used in different climates and different areas of the world and what beautiful plants might be blooming at your place! Many of your gardens are so inspiring and your photos show how truly dedicated you are to making your space (and the world in general) healthier and more beautiful. I am so grateful to each of you for sharing your friendship and knowledge!

I love our ATP Plant Database http://garden.org/plants/ It has become the first stop for me when I'm searching for information about plants. In my opinion, the ATP database is the most comprehensive and accurate plant information site on the internet; it has grown by leaps and bounds in the past four years and continues to do so, due to the efforts of all of our members ... I can only imagine how amazing it will be twenty years from now! Thank You to all the members who've added pertinent information about particular plants and a huge Thank You to our database moderators who work so diligently at keeping the database accurate and in great working order!

In the four years I've been a member, I've learned that All Things Plants is for everyone! No matter our age, our gender, our level of plant knowledge; whether we are farmers, extremely avid gardeners of large or small properties or whether we just grow a few indoor plants to brighten our space and our lives ... ATP is a place where we learn and grow together!

I wish ATP had been around 30 or 40 years ago when I was much younger and had more energy. If there had been an internet and ATP back then I'd know much more about plants and gardening at this stage of my life, but there was no such thing as the internet back then ... so maybe I'm just wishing that I were younger now.

Anyway ... Happy Birthday All Things Plants!

What a great 4 years of watching ATP grow from the ground up, faster than the fairy tale beanstalk!

Huge thanks to Dave and Trish, of course -- and to the admins and mods, and to so many people that have seemingly tirelessly worked at adding to the database. And really to every member here, for sharing gardening wisdom as though we were all neighbors visiting over the fence. The internet has given us so many resources, and ATP is certainly one of the best ever

I am new to this Forum, but have enjoyed the emails...and love all of the information! Happy Birthday All Things Plants and Happy Independence Day to those of us in the USA!

And we are all glad to have you here!

Welcome, ES!

Loving the friendly, laid-back atmosphere of ATP and the helpfulness of all the administrators, moderators and members. It's so cool to see the database grow and constantly be tweaked. A lot of effort goes into this site and it shows!

Happy 4th my friends.....

Like a lot of previous posters ATP is a daily stop for me. Sometimes I post photo's, comment, and often I just lurk. But I'm always here at least twice a day...cause there is always something I find interesting and informative.
Happy 4th ATP and to everyone of it's members !

Great pictures Paul!

Happy Anniversary ATP!!! Thanks to Dave, Trish, moderators and all the wonderful people that make this the best gardening site on the net!!!

Time sure flies when you're havin' fun. I am another who has been following Dave around on his garden hose for years I joined the old ,and wonderful at the time, Dave's Garden right after 911 when it was still free....and then to Cubits and now ATP. It has been a fun journey watching Dave and Trish's "cyber children" be born and grow as well as enjoying their real life family grow. Thank you for all you do

Is all we get as we

and friendly help.

Thank you to all who have helped in growing this special website throughout these four plentiful years. Hurray for our great team of moderators. A huge thank you for @dave and @Trish who have created this website and brought us all together as a big friendly family!!

I LOVE ATP! A huge hooray for all the admins and moderators! This is the best gardening website ever!
Thank you to everybody, especially @dave, and @Trish. All Things Plants has proved to be to be great (I knew it would).
Happy Birthday, ATP!

I've been with ATP since the beginning and enjoy stopping by very much. I always learn so much on the site and love the photos.

As always I've been cooking....Pasta Salad, Rice Salad, Baked Beans, and we will do hamburgers on the grill. For desert German Chocolate Cake. I'm going to force my family to sing happy birthday to ATP over the cake or they won't get any. They know that Grandpa is getting a little eccentric so they may cooperate. The singing won't be beautiful but will be sincere......

tarev, what a wonderful Independence Day photo and Happy Birthday wishes to ATP photo!
